Their experience, commitment to service, conservative values and ability to inspire other women leaders make them very compelling candidates in this crucial election cycle. Supporting and electing these outstanding women to Congress will not only expand the conservative majority but they will also safeguard and continue to promote our values of fiscal conservatism, less government, more personal responsibility and a strong national security"

We need a proven conservative leader and a proven winner to take back Minnesota's 1st District, and with Maggie's List's 82% win rate, it's clear that they see our path to victory in the primary as well as in the general. With the support of tremendous conservative groups like Maggie's List, our campaign's momentum continues to grow as we head towards the August Republican primary."
